Ruth 4:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 And moreover, Ruth the Moabitess the wife of Mahlon, have I bought to be my wife, to stir up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, and that the name of the dead be not put out from among his brethren, and from the gate of his [a]place: ye are witnesses this day.
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the Elders said, We are witnesses: the Lord make the wife that cometh into thine house, like Rachel and like Leah, which twain did build the house of Israel: and that thou mayest do worthily in [b]Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 And that thine house be like the house of Perez ((A)whom Tamar bare unto Judah) of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
